- Interesting to watch......... - Publius - 12/30/2004 7:41:05 PM
  - Peoplesoft made lousy software anyway. Their system was NOT built around the General Ledger concept, fundamental to accounting. The death of Peoplesoft is no loss to business. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 12/30/2004 7:58:00 PM
    - I've noticed this problem with just about every enterprise software solution I've ever encountered. - Scott Evil - 1/3/2005 3:53:36 PM
    - But the conversion costs wil be murder - Fox - 12/30/2004 10:14:34 PM
      - You are right. Conversion will be a nightmare. It will be aided somewhat by custom software produced by Oracle for the purpose. - David F Mayer - 12/31/2004 6:22:01 AM
